You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
“Do you offer payment plans?”
Many funeral homes allow you to spread the cost over time. Ask about down payments, terms, and financing options.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“Worst experience possible. Ruined what could have been a beautiful service, then showed no actual concern or regret for their actions. The before, during, and after funeral process was simply terrible. We are all heartbroken”
— Angela Robinson
“Amazing. They were outstanding. Mr Vaughan went above and beyond. Super nice and very compassionate . He handled up on everything and made my mother look so beautiful. It was amazing. If I die, this is who I'd trust to take care of things, and I'd want Mr Vaughan to handle it.”
— LeeAnn “September” Serio
“My family has had several passing family members that were handled at this location. We were very pleased with their professionalism and made us feel like family. They are reasonable and took care of every detail to meet the families needs. When my time comes, this is where I will request to be taken as well.”
